Ray Cluster Configuration

To create Ray Clusters using the CodeFlare SDK a cluster configuration needs to be created first. This is what a typical cluster configuration would look like; Note: The values for CPU and Memory are at the minimum requirements for creating the Ray Cluster.

from codeflare_sdk import Cluster, ClusterConfiguration

cluster = Cluster(ClusterConfiguration(
    name='ray-example', # Mandatory Field
    namespace='default', # Default None
    head_cpu_requests=1, # Default 2
    head_cpu_limits=1, # Default 2
    head_memory_requests=1, # Default 8
    head_memory_limits=1, # Default 8
    head_extended_resource_requests={'nvidia.com/gpu':0}, # Default 0
    worker_extended_resource_requests={'nvidia.com/gpu':0}, # Default 0
    num_workers=1, # Default 1
    worker_cpu_requests=1, # Default 1
    worker_cpu_limits=1, # Default 1
    worker_memory_requests=2, # Default 2
    worker_memory_limits=2, # Default 2
    # image="", # Optional Field
    labels={"exampleLabel": "example", "secondLabel": "example"},
))

Note

The default images used by the CodeFlare SDK for creating a RayCluster resource depend on the installed Python version:

  • For Python 3.9: quay.io/modh/ray:2.35.0-py39-cu121

  • For Python 3.11: quay.io/modh/ray:2.35.0-py311-cu121

If you prefer to use a custom Ray image that better suits your needs, you can specify it in the image field to override the default. If you are using ROCm compatible GPUs you can use quay.io/modh/ray:2.35.0-py39-rocm61. You can also find documentation on building a custom image here.

The labels={"exampleLabel": "example"} parameter can be used to apply additional labels to the RayCluster resource.

After creating their cluster, a user can call cluster.up() and cluster.down() to respectively create or remove the Ray Cluster.
